CCAC Meeting – 20 January 2016

This should be interesting. Restore n’ Station wants a drive-through, more gas pumps, and an auto repair component. Updates from Adelaide proposed development, and an update about Downtown Crozet redevelopment.

Make some time, if you can. The meeting is at the Meadows this month, so no wi-fi. Darn it.

CCAC Meeting – 16 December 2015 – New Developments + Growth

A few thoughts after tonight’s CCAC meeting:

  1. Having that many involved, interested, engaged people at a local meeting is AWESOME.
  2. Crozet is a designated growth area. It has been for many years.
  3. Crozet is going to grow.
  4. These developers are working under the constructs permitted by the County of Albemarle.
  5. If you want to effect change, it takes time. And effort. And time and dedication.
  6. See #1.
  7. If you want something to stay the same, buy it. Otherwise, expect it to change. I don’t say this flippantly, but bluntly and simply.
  8. The conversation that the community needs to have is far, far greater than one or two neighborhoods. It’s about Crozet. And the County. And the City of Charlottesville + County of Albemarle. And schools. And roads.  And taxes.
  9. If you comment on a matter, I think you should have to disclose your interest in the matter.
  10. Dig into the tweets. Come to the next meeting. Please.
  11. This is the slide deck the folks presenting about Adelaide used last night.
  12. Update – letter from the Cory Farm neighborhood against the rezoning

Update – Sean Tubbs with Charlottesville Tomorrow has as well.

CCAC Meeting Recap | 10/21/2015 | Infrastructure & Downtown Crozet

Really interesting Crozet Community Advisory Council meeting tonight. Downtown Crozet is going to change. Traffic is going to get worse different. Businesses will hopefully come to downtown Crozet.

Quick notes:

  • I persicoped. Live-streamed on Twitter. I think it was useful, and next time, so long as we’re at the Crozet Library with Wifi and outlets, I’ll do it again … but with a tripod most likely and my computer so I can tweet as well. But really, are they useful for you? (I really thought the iPhone should have been horizontal. Clearly that was wrong) Periscope 1 – YouTube version here – , Periscope 2, Periscope 3 (parking discussion).
  • Discussion about the WAHS Environmental Academy (I was late, but @CrozetCommunity tweeted!)
  • Big discussion about the future of downtown Crozet, Barnes Lumberyard, commercial, phasing of the development and more. You really shoulda been there.
  • Discussion about parking in downtown Crozet, the coming Piedmont Place, and I spoke up (which I never do at these meetings)
  • Milestone Partners will be launching a new website to convey the message/brand of their project and downtown Crozet.

CCAC Meeting – August 2015 – Master Plan, Exit 107, Downtown Crozet

CCAC Meeting 19 August 2015 #CCAC0815
CCAC Meeting 19 August 2015

I’m going to update this in a bit, but wanted to publish it tonight. Click through, scroll to the bottom and work your way up.

Highlights (acknowledging that it’s not quite fair to pull some of these out of context):

– Our Delegate, Steve Landes was present for his first CCAC meeting
– The Downtown Crozet Initiative is ongoing. Milestone hopes to have better information/drawings/visuals in September/October.
– Mike Marshall introduced Warren Byrd, the “architect of the Crozet Plan” to talk about his plan for the redeveloping of Downtown Crozet.
– Warren Byrd acknowledged that the Master Plan should be malleable, and adapt.
– The Exit 107 resolution (I couldn’t find it online) was approved unanimously. I’m guessing it said something to the effect of “don’t grow here, and if you do, make it great.” Update: the CCA now has the passed resolution (PDF) up. Update #2: After a Twitter conversation with CCAC Chair Jennie More (see conversation in the Storify), resolutions will now be posted before public meetings. Thanks, Jennie!
– The CCA have updated their agenda with links to the proposed Block Plan and the two now-passed Resolutions. (and thanks for posting so late at night!)
